Driving an RV can be a challenge even when you're not towing, and when you are, that adds yet another degree of difficulty. With that in mind, here are a few quick tips. Right off the bat, you may need a special license to drive your RV. You're good in most states if your RV is less than 26,000 pounds, but it makes sense to check first. It also makes sense to get some practice in, whether it's by taking your vehicle to an empty parking lot or taking an RV driver's ed class. All that extra weight makes a definite difference in driving dynamics out on the road, too, so go slow. It's going to take you longer to get up to speed or stop in an RV, so you have to be thinking ahead. Speaking of thinking ahead, you should plan out your route, including gas stops, in advance to avoid possible road restrictions. Check your destination as well, particularly if you have an older recreational vehicle. You might love your vintage RV, but it may be banned from certain campsites.
